V-STROM 800RE TOUR JOINS SUZUKI LINEUP
Suzuki has added a V-Strom 800RE Tour to its lineup , which comes with 112 litres of aluminium luggage and a saving of almost AU $ 1000
Buyers can choose from either silver or black threepiece luggage , comprising a top box and panniers , and with a reduced price , customers will save substantially over equipping the standard V-Strom 800RE with the individual accessories .
Available in blue , matt steel green , or black , the V-Strom 800RE Tour expands Suzuki ’ s V-Strom 800 range to four models , all of which use the firm ’ s new 776cc parallel twin engine with its 270-degree crankshaft design , delivering an abundance of smooth low-down drive and midrange thrust .
The 800RE models come with 19 ” and 17 ” cast aluminium wheels and Nissin radial calipers . Aluminium , rubbercovered foot pegs are set 14mm further rearward and 7mm higher than the V-Strom 800DE , and aluminium tapered handlebars are 13mm lower and 23mm further forwards . They ’ re also 15mm narrower . Like the DE , suspension comes courtesy of Showa , but with a focus on superior onroad performance there is 150mm of travel front and rear .
A bi-directional quickshifter comes as standard , and there are three selectable power modes and three choices of traction control settings , which can also be switched off . All the information is displayed via a colour TFT dash , nestled behind a large , wind-cheating screen .
